A snowfall came very quickly, and the entire Baidi City was covered in silver overnight, truly becoming the "White" Imperial City.
It's just that Baidi City is not an ordinary town after all. This military town facing Jingzhou is home to Li Xingchen's most elite main army and navy in the south. On the contrary, there are not many people, mainly the side branches of a few big families.
Here, there are also some traveling merchants coming and going.
When the heavy snow fell, teams of soldiers drove neatly onto the streets and began to clear the snow, while the navy soldiers on the dock were also hurriedly clearing the snow and breaking up the ice floes in the river. Although these ice floes were not big, they were
It can't stand up to their constant knocking on the hull.
This kind of scene of soldiers taking to the streets to clear snow is rare in other places. It would be good if the army did not capture some strong men to clear snow for the barracks. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the few people in Baidi City.
There were many onlookers, but soon some young boys couldn't help but join in the lively procession.
According to their own words, even the army has already taken action, so why should everyone hesitate? At least the snow in front of their homes must be swept away!
"The snow is so beautiful, why are you so anxious to sweep it away?" Lechang was lying in Li Xingchen's arms in the warm quilt, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise.
The sound of snow clearing outside has become more and more intense, and it is obvious that Li Ping is also cleaning the courtyard with his guards.
Li Xingchen looked at the beautiful lady with a slight blush on her face, and smiled softly: "Baidi City is the first fortress facing the east. If the road is allowed to accumulate snow, then the snow will freeze in the future, which will affect the
Troops are mobilized in the city. Moreover, merchants and merchants in the town need clean roads, as well as the transportation of grain and grass."
Lechang responded with a vague understanding. After all, she had never participated in civil affairs management, so she naturally had no idea about it.
After all, there are still a few roads paved with stone slabs in today's cities. That is, some main roads in Chengdu and Hanzhong are paved with stone slabs. In most cities, the streets are actually still loess. Once it rains or snows,
It will be extremely muddy when the weather is high, and the government must lay wooden planks on the road as an emergency. Therefore, if the snow is not cleared away quickly, it is one thing that the road will freeze in two days, and it is also very likely that it will directly turn into mud.
One thing.
Of course, Li Xingchen knows that there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. If every town is forced to pave with stone slabs, it will be impossible. Even if the current workshops are fully producing qualified stone slabs, there is no way to satisfy them. After all, this is still a majority.
In an era when houses were all thatched houses, Li Xingchen couldn't dream of reaching the sky in one fell swoop. It would be good to be able to set examples in a few towns first, and at least it could point out a direction for the development of other state capitals.
Although Lechang didn't understand the cause and effect for the moment, she also knew that this was a military town, and it was reasonable to have various strict systems. After all, this was Li Xuchen's Bashu, and the heroic man in front of her whom she admired
, there should be such an army and such a system.
However, the sound of snow being swept outside the window still made Lechang unable to stay in bed. In addition, it was already getting late. Lechang reluctantly tried to get up, but then he realized something and quickly reached out to cover Li Xinchen's sudden exposure.
The snow-white skin in his eyes.
Li Xingchen smiled. After all, Lechang is no different from Xiao Xiang, a little girl who doesn't know anything, and he is even more different from Yuchi Chifan, a daughter from the north. In his maturity, he has the tenderness and reserve of a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, which is completely different from Li Xingchen.
The taste of two women.
"How long have you been watching, haven't you seen enough?" Lechang squeaked and wanted to step over Li Xingchen to get his own clothes.
But Li Xingchen was the first to take the dirty clothes and shook them off: "Do you want it?"
"You!" Lechang's pretty face turned red immediately. He didn't know how he should fight with this scoundrel, so he pushed Li Xingchen aggrievedly, "Didn't you bully me enough yesterday?"
Seeing Lechang's aggrieved look, Li Xingchen rolled his eyes, but obediently handed her the dirty clothes. Then Lechang came over with a smile and kissed Li Xingchen on the face.
Li Xingchen finally smiled with satisfaction and stood up to change clothes. Lechang just put on his coat and came over obediently to help him change clothes. He looked at the ridge exposed between the girl's bent body and her snow-white eyes that were not covered in the first place.
Legs, Li Xingchen took a breath of cold air and felt that his heart was beating a little faster.
Sensing that something was wrong with Li Xingchen's gaze, Lechang followed his gaze and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the placket on his chest. However, after thinking about it again, he had seen it yesterday and even done everything he could do, so he said, "Oh
"Sounded.
How could I have met such an enemy in my life!
——————————————-
"See Your Highness, Princess." The guards who were clearing the snow saluted one after another.
Li Xingchen smiled and took the broom from one of the guards, and followed them to sweep away the snow in front of the door. Lechang had already asked his maid to prepare hot porridge, and now he brought it out to these people, most of whom had frozen faces.
The red-blooded guards.
"See you, general!" Li Xun and Wang Chang came hand in hand. They were surprised when they saw Li Xingchen clearing the snow and hurriedly saluted. But soon they saw Lechang, who was bringing his maid to distribute porridge to the guards.
"See Princess."
Li Xingchen smiled and pointed: "The two generals have had a hard time clearing the snow in the morning. How about warming up after drinking porridge?"
While talking, Li Xunchen took two bowls from Lechang and handed them to Li Xun and Wang Chang.
People in the army have big appetites, not to mention that Li Xun and Wang Chang had been busy for a long time when they got up in the morning to direct the removal of ice and snow. At this time, their stomachs began to growl again, and a bowl of hot porridge was naturally very comfortable.
.
His Highness the King of Han had already delivered it to him, and the two of them naturally did not refuse. After thanking each other, they ate happily. When Li Xingchen saw that the porridge was almost divided, he said with a smile: "It's cold, Le'er, you should go back first, don't let it freeze."
."
Lechang smiled brightly: "I'm going to retire, you guys, just wait and see."
The generals and guards did not dare to be rude and returned the courtesy one after another. The princess came out and ordered everyone to share the porridge. She was a close person to the people, and everyone could not really be so casual.
"Your Highness, how can you, your rich body, suffer such hardship on yourself?" The maid who was following Lechang was already shivering from the cold, and she couldn't help but whispered after Lechang.
Lechang laughed and stood under the corridor and looked at Li Xingchen and the soldiers who were chatting happily: "Every place has its own rules. This is Bashu, and the King of Han does not have the airs of the King of Han, so naturally I should do it
Some icing on the cake."
"But······"
"How can there be so many!" Lechang turned around, eyebrows raised, and his voice became cold, "When you get to Chengdu in the future, don't say this kind of thing!"
The maid was startled and hurriedly agreed. (To be continued)
